+    <h1>FSFE invites to track down advertising for non-free software on 
+governmental websites</h1>
+
+    <p newsteaser="yes">The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) is 
+launching a campaign to sensibilize the public to the fact that government 
+websites are advertising for proprietary software, each time that they 
+redirect you to a downloading interface for a non-free PDFreader while 
+you have to read a PDF file.</p>
+
+<p>Launched by the Fellowship of FSFE, <a href="http://pdfreaders.org/">pdfreaders.org</a> 
+is a site providing information about Free Software PDF readers for all 
+major operating systems. It clearly shows that there are many programs to 
+read and write PDF documents. Grounding on the conviction that governments 
+should not advertise for one private product, in this case a non-free PDF 
+reader presented as the only possibility to read PDF documents when there 
+are several alternatives. By doing so, governmental institutions give 
+indeed an economical advantage to the advertised product over its competitors. </p>
+<p>FSFE invites everybody to search through governmental websites for advertising 
+and to <a href="/campaigns/pdfreaders/pdfreaders.en.html">notify them</a> 
+to the FSFE.<!-- We also invite you to <a href="www.fsfe.org/campaigns/pdfreaders/petition.html">sign the petition</a> for advertisment-free governmental websites.--></p>
+
+<p>This collection of governmental URL will take place from September, 
+13th to October 17th 2010. It takes the form of a contest in which people 
+notifying the most advertisements will recieve a price at the end of October.
+<!-- The second phase of the campaign will then consist in writing to the 
+pointed institutions to try to explain them FSFE's point and to make them 
+correct their assertions on their websites.  --></p>
+
+<p>We hope to see you soon on our hunter list</p>
